Do you know what I do remember?
I remember being being yelled down on the BBS by a horde of players telling me there is no problem at all, that the new version is fine and that there are no problems on their screens. I was told I'm only a whiner, a crybaby who simply sucks at setting up his computer.
And that's with every major update. The "anti-whiner" crowd is as bad as the feet-stompers. Interestingly, many individuals switch sides from update to update, either pointing their fingers at the pathetic losers and telling them to "suck it up" - or stomping their feet and threatening to quit 5 seconds after a new version is out because "them" (furballers/basegrabbers/xboxcrowd/whatever) had made HiTech to finally ruin the game.
That not just the case with new updates. Look at the forum as a whole.
Anytime there is a complaint about updates,how things are done. there are people who agree or having the same problems. And then there is the antiwhining crowd.
People will always have complaints or problems. For each individual 99% of the time they are legitimate concerns to that individual.
The problems arise then the complaints either arent put forth in a mature manner or with those who view any complaint they dont agree with as a whine.
As two examples. Caps/eny complaints. For the people that complaint about them and even put forth a reasonable argument about them without the foot stomping. Someone has to come in and call them a whiner. Now for the people complaining. they are very real, very legitimate complaints or dislikes. As paying customers they have every right to complain. So long as they put forth such complaints in a reasonable manner.
Any time someone has a complaint, and it doesn't matter how civilly they present their complaint. Someone jumps on them as being a whiner because they dont agree. As though calling them a whiner is going to somehow make their complaint less legitimate.
On the other hand we have as an example the new updates. and instead of putting forth concerns in a reasonable manner. We see true footstomping full blown tempertantrums.
Amusingly enough. by some of the very same people who often call other people whiners on a regular basis.
Anyway. its always interesting to see that one person calling another a whiner when they dont agree. and that same person can be called a whiner when they have a complaint or concern.
I have yet to see the person who hasnt called someone else a whiner over someones concerns. And not be called a whiner when they had concerns.
If you or somoene else has a problem,concern, or complaint. those concerns etc are very real for each person just as your concerns etc are real to you.
Where the whines come in is in how they are presented
